Lesley Dabson: A London Year
10 – 23 October 2025
Lesley Dabson describes herself as a “literal painter”. “When a scene has hooked my attention,
I can’t wait to capture it in oil”. And so it was at our first meeting: within minutes Dabson’s keen eye
has captured shapes, colours, textures; a particular vista or view in and from the HLSI building where
we meet.
In this exhibition, A London Year, Dabson shares city scenes throughout the seasons and in all lights.
She works in oil paint, both in her studio and en plein air directly in front of her subject.
Both practices bring different elements to her work. The immediacy of a changing scene, where
light, tides and weather influence a plein air piece and the calmer atmosphere of her studio where
she can take a more considered approach. “There is no difference in style or brushwork” Dabson
explains,“ but both aspects are important and complementary in my practice”.
Draughtsmanship is fundamental to Dabson’s practice. She is a member of the Hesketh Hubbard
Life Drawing Society, meeting weekly in the Mall Galleries to draw. The professional models, who
live and work in the city choose their own poses; Dabson works at speed and with accuracy. The
studies, primarily in charcoal on textured paper, are included in A London Year.
Dabson has lived in London for over forty years and her work is firmly rooted in the changing
seasons of the city.
In 2024 her work was included in Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, she is an elected member
of Chelsea Art Society and the Royal Society of Birmingham Artists.

Churchill said it was riddle wrapped up in a mystery inside an enigma: can we ever understand Russia?
What is to be Done?’ is a question Russians have asked themselves many times over the last two centuries. Sharing their ideas over a lifetime of reading and writing, author Lesley Chamberlain spotlights the difficulties and asks whether there’s an answer.
Lesley Chamberlain studied Russian and German in England and was a Reuters correspondent in Moscow 1978-79 before embarking on a freelance career. While reviewing for many national and international publications and writing and broadcasting on BBC radio she has published over twenty books. They reflect approaches to Russia by way of food, literature, travel, history, philosophy and fiction. Titles include The Food and Cooking of Russia, Motherland A Philosophical History of Russia and most recently a novel The Mozhaisk Road Russian Heart of Darkness.
Highgate Gallery in conjunction with The Wolf Collective is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by acclaimed British artist Adrian Hemming.
This exhibition brings together a significant body of work spanning Hemming’s decades-long career,
including oil paintings, prints, drawings, and watercolours.
Known for his meditative landscapes and luminous handling of colour, Hemming’s practice invites viewers
to reflect on how memory shapes perception—and how the land itself becomes a repository of both
personal and collective experience.
The Shape of Memory engages deeply with themes drawn from cultural history and philosophy.
Echoing Simon Schama’s Landscape and Memory, the exhibition explores landscape not merely
as a backdrop, but as a force through which identity, myth, and memory are forged. Hemming’s
work also resonates with both Nietzsche and Proust’s reflections on conscious remembering in the
body, where memory is not only stored in the mind but experienced viscerally—through rhythm,
sensation, and image.
As noted in the late Professor Denis Cosgrove’s essay on Hemming, his landscapes are “charged with the
geography of emotion,” operating between place and psyche. Hemming’s canvases often blur the boundary
between inner and outer worlds, rendering terrain that is at once real and remembered, abstract and intimate.
This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to engage with the full emotional and intellectual range of
Hemming’s work—a practice deeply rooted in the poetics of place and the subtle architectures of memory.

between inner and outer worlds, rendering terrain that is at once real and remembered, abstract and intimate.
This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to engage with the full emotional and intellectual range of
Hemming’s work—a practice deeply rooted in the poetics of place and the subtle architectures of memory.

Highgate Gallery in conjunction with The Wolf Collective is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by acclaimed British artist Adrian Hemming.
This exhibition brings together a significant body of work spanning Hemming’s decades-long career,
including oil paintings, prints, drawings, and watercolours.
Known for his meditative landscapes and luminous handling of colour, Hemming’s practice invites viewers
to reflect on how memory shapes perception—and how the land itself becomes a repository of both
personal and collective experience.
The Shape of Memory engages deeply with themes drawn from cultural history and philosophy.
Echoing Simon Schama’s Landscape and Memory, the exhibition explores landscape not merely
as a backdrop, but as a force through which identity, myth, and memory are forged. Hemming’s
work also resonates with both Nietzsche and Proust’s reflections on conscious remembering in the
body, where memory is not only stored in the mind but experienced viscerally—through rhythm,
sensation, and image.
As noted in the late Professor Denis Cosgrove’s essay on Hemming, his landscapes are “charged with the
geography of emotion,” operating between place and psyche. Hemming’s canvases often blur the boundary
between inner and outer worlds, rendering terrain that is at once real and remembered, abstract and intimate.
